Nigerians have shown their disenchantments against the activities of SARS. The purpose for which they are established have been abused greatly.
A victim narrated how he was harassed by the anti-robbery squad while on his legitimate official duty with his laptop and phone, they tagged him a “Yahoo Boyâ€.
It has now become a crime to travel with ones laptop which is very much essential in the 21st century. Many innocent souls have been wasted as a result of abuse of power by SARS.
The social media is enmeshed with the call to end SARS.
Whether this call would be heeded by the authority concerned is left to be desired.
